Wesley, Rebecca, Mahlon and Sara Beth

Making memories TWO at a time!



Friday, June 12, 2009

Sorry it has been long since I posted anything. We have had a crazy June so far. These pictures sum up the past few weeks at our house.

Last weekend Wesley and I went New Orleans to celebrate our 5 year Anniversary! We dropped the babies off at Doc and Cheri's and headed south. This was Wesley's first trip since Katrina. I have been one other time...sad to it is just not the same. We had a wonderful time. We ate wonderful food at two of our favorites...Bacco and Superior Grill and we tried a New Orleans classic Mother's. The real reason we go to New Orleans is to eat! We walked all over the French Quarter and of course shopped. We had a great time!
On Friday night we stopped by Pat O's piano bar and as most of you know Wesley hates being in the spotlight...they sat us front and center with little spotlights on our table! It was too funny! The piano players were great!

Aunt Lani came to help Doc and Cheri with the babies. They had a good time. The babies have started eating table food so Cheri cooked all kinds of new things for them to eat. Mahlon especially loved Docs peas(from his garden) They ate ground turkey, sweet potato fries, watermelon, and squash. They also went "swimming" in large laundry tubs. My mom has video and pictures that I'll post later. They got to see the cows too! They were busy busy!




Cheri bought the babies this sprinkler pool last week and they love it! I decided it is much easier to "swim" in our back yard than drag all of our stuff to the pool in our neighborhood. They love to splash!

Wesley has started a little garden with Doc's guidance. We have tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers...do you think Wesley likes peppers??? We plan on making a bunch of salsa this summer. This is Mahlon "helping" daddy mulch the garden. Looks like he is having fun!



Many of you have asked how I keep up with 2 mobile babies...the secret...a corral(that is what Doc calls it) They don't mind being in there. Of course they have every toy you can imagine to keep them entertained!Thanks to the Bobbitt family for the wonderful design and for letting us borrow it!



We had a gross first yesterday...Sara Beth was having a "fussy" day and was very clinging. Well after her screaming through most of her dinner we found out why....


She threw up all over Wesley...a real throw up...we have had 10 months of spit up, but this was a first!! You are probably grossed out, but we are still laughing! She has been so pleasant since then! She is cutting 4 teeth at once so that may be part of the problem!

Love the gate! Heddie has one of those too! Don't forget cilantro for your garden! You'll need it for your salsa! We are doing the same thing- homemade salsa is the best!
